L1 to L3 support, so engineers get the roadmap back.

An L1 to L3 IT service desk, with cloud cost and performance reporting, for Indian enterprises whose engineers spend their day on tickets. NetScale takes user support from first contact to engineering escalation, runs joiner, mover and leaver access, and tracks devices, licences and warranties. Support windows are stated in IST and agreed in writing.

What it is

Cloud Ops and Service Desk (L1 to L3)

A service desk is the single point where users report problems and ask for help.

L1 takes first contact and known fixes, L2 deeper troubleshooting, and L3 engineering work and escalation into the vendor. Here the desk also runs access management and asset tracking. Joiners, movers and leavers are handled as tickets, and every device, licence and warranty sits on one register.

Each month you get one written report: tickets, access changes, assets, and cloud cost and performance.

Cloud cost engineering, tuning and monitoring sit under Managed cloud and cost optimisation.

Single sign-on, multi-factor login and privileged access controls sit under Identity and access management (IAM).

Each phase adds a layer to the same estate.

An IT estate on one platform, as the home film draws it: racks, network, storage, an office and a mast. Assess marks: how tickets flow; the asset register. Deliver adds: service desk; access management. Operate adds: reported monthly; access reviewed.

India specifics and cost.

India specifics

  • Support windows

    Stated in IST, with a response time for each priority, agreed in writing before we start.

  • DPDP

    From 13 May 2027, Rule 6(1)(b) of the DPDP Rules asks for control of access to the computer resources that process personal data. Recorded leaver tickets and access reviews are part of that evidence. Legal interpretation stays with your counsel.

Certifications and technology

What do L1, L2 and L3 support mean?

They are levels of support, set by how deep the problem goes. L1 takes first contact and known fixes, such as password resets. L2 takes deeper troubleshooting that needs more time or access. L3 takes engineering work and escalation into the vendor. Which levels we run, and in which hours, is agreed in writing.

Can your service desk work alongside our own IT team?

Yes. The split is written down before we start: which levels we take, which systems, and how tickets pass between your team and ours. You might keep L3 or one application in-house and hand us the rest. Every ticket stays visible to your team, and your engineers get time back for the roadmap.

How are service desk tickets prioritised?

By business impact. A fault that stops critical work comes first; a request with no business impact waits its turn. Each priority has a response time written into the contract, and the support window is stated in IST. The levels are agreed with you, so they match how your business works.

What does asset tracking cover?

Every device, licence and warranty, on one register: who holds each device, what it runs, and when its warranty or licence ends. The register is updated as tickets close, so joiners, movers and leavers change it as they happen. It is yours, and handed over with the rest of the documentation.

What happens to a leaver’s access?

It is removed on a leaver ticket, system by system, and each removal is recorded. HR or the line manager raises the ticket; the desk closes the accounts, recovers the device and updates the asset register. Access reviews on a schedule agreed in writing catch anything a ticket missed.
